Keeping all the balls in the air, especially at this time of year, is never easy. Mommy, Photographer, Business Owner, Wife, Friend, Volunteer (and don’t forget Chauffeur, Activities Director, Cook, Laundress, Maid, Personal Organizer).
Sometimes I can do it all. My kids all turned another year older within 13 days of one another. I organized three parties in October while shooting almost-daily sessions, hosting houseguests, and taking nice, deep, cleansing breaths.
Sometimes I can’t…and in cases such as tonight I do the only thing I can. I blame H1N1:
Our kids LOOOOVE their Elf on the Shelf. Christopher arrives on Dec 1, and I have a clear and distinct memory of packing him away on December 25th of last year and thinking to myself “DO NOT LOSE THE ELF.”.
I’ve lost the elf.
I’m hoping to have a quick half hour tomorrow to run to the toy store and find Christopher II.
I’m also hoping that my oldest’s extreme fear of ye old Swine Flu will help.
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!

LOVE! You’re such an amazing mom. Truly! Good luck with the Elf Hunt!
I hope that your kids don’t talk to other kids about the incredible artistic ability of Santa. Most kids have no idea how creative Santa can be with a computer!
Too funny!!!
